A Free and Simple Way to SEO your Blog

If I were to tell you that you can better the performance of your blog by implementing a simple thing, I am sure you will sit on the edge of your chair eager to know what it is. And if I tell you that you will have to do a bit of search engine optimization, I am sure again that you will push back into your chair because that is the last thing you would want to do.

Why is SEO so difficult? Why is it that people run away from doing SEO?

SEO is not something that you somebody can teach you. It takes hands on experience to understand what SEO is. Though there are some guidelines on which you can work, it so happens that these guidelines just remain guidelines and we end up doing something else.

What is SEO?

Does just adding a few meta tags to your blog’s head help improve your search engine rankings?

Of Course not, there is more to SEO than just adding a few tags. One of the most important and difficult activities in search engine optimization is keyword research, which is often ignored. Half of the work is done if you are able to discover a few less competitive but highly profitable keywords for your blog.

The Google External Keyword tool is a very good resource to do this, if you are looking for a free option. But I prefer using Micro Niche Finder which is a paid tool, but for $99.00, it is one of the best buys you can make.

Once you have researched your keywords, comes the next critical aspect, which is using these keywords in your blog’s content. SEO requires quite a improvements in your posts like adding an H1, H2 and H3 tag with the keyword in it. Adding an image with an alt tag with the keyword in it etc.

I do not recommend doing all of this manually because it can be quite time consuming. With a WordPress blog, you can get a couple of plugins that can do this partially like the platinum SEO pack, but there is no complete tool available if you are looking for a free option.

I use SEOpressor, which again is a paid option to get all this done but it is worth it. SEOpressor does all this tagging and other stuff automatically or, recommends changes that are required for a better ranking. It even gives a score, so you know how much more improvement is required.

If you thought, that was it on SEO, then I will have to disappoint you.

SEO goes further than what we just read. So what else is involved and how is it that you will do all this?
